Fourth Gallery Challenge/ A Poem as Lovely as a Tree

Rate: 13 Flag

 

  Tree Poem sized

    I can see my father standing there so tall and handsome and reciting this poem to me.    We especially loved the first two lines. 

  Tree poem five

       My late boyfriend gave my mother a tree identification book.  She loves a beautiful tree.

   Tree poem three resized

    A tree is a brain rooted to the earth.   I wish trees could walk.

   Tree poem two resized two

   The Blue Jays and the Woodpeckers are battling it out in the Oak tree in my backyard.  They are noisy.  

   Tree poem four resized

 

  I like to hug a tree and imagine that it could talk to me.  I would hope it isn't afraid of me like other forms of life in the forest.  

  Taking a nap under a tree is one of the pleasures of life.  I am always glad when I wake up in the same place with the tree watching over me.

Got to love trees!!! Rated!!
Although it’s said that only God
Can make a tree, I think it’s odd
It’s only dogs that can feel free
To use a tree to take a pee.
I have no very strong ambition
To advertise my social position
To use a tree to make my mark.
But, at times, demands are stark
When my bladder screams in strain
I’d love relief from urine pain
To use a tree just like a dog.
Would this, you think, set God agog?
So funny! Thank you. I have peed behind a tree before. lol
It's very nice we've both agreed
We have, behind a tree, had peed.
Although the cops dislike this deed,
It fills a very urgent need.
And trees, I really suspect,
Do not mind this liquid effect
Whether or not we really oughta
It helps a bit to donate water.
Oh you are in good form tonight Jan. I don't think the tree minds at all and I think I even heard it chuckling.
Zanelle, thank you for sharing such a beautiful poem about trees and the strong artworks... This is so interesting and giving, both in reading and in seeing. Rated.
Hoping for you to have two trees close enough to give you shade and hang your hammock. Here's a cocktail to you!
I'm not sure that vegetation
Is happy with our urination.
But, gift horses and their mouth
And other organs further south
Perhaps belie closer inspection
Whatever source or direction
When donations come their way.
Concerning trees, it's hard to say.
I totally lost
My train of thought
Peeing on trees?
Yes, we ought.
So I take it you you've traveled in your sleep before?
I like these very much, especially the one w the red walk. Extraordinary eye.

Yes Tg. I was smiling when I wrote that. Way back in college in the sixties I wrote a little essay on falling asleep in the woods and being glad to wake up in the same place. The teacher marked in red pen in the margin that he certainly hoped I did!
Naps always disorient me and when I wake up kind of fuzzy I remember I am out in a beautiful place under a tree I am thankful to get back from my dreaming of odd places and be in the physical world of trees again.
I had to recite that poem at an assembly hundreds of years ago..
This reminded me of it and loved the photos
HUGGGGGGGGGGG
"Brain-rooted to the Earth." Love that idea.
I can't nap under trees - too allergic. But I could nap under your paintings! They are wonderful. /R
I enjoy your artwork!

We have a few hours drive an old oak tree that I love to just place my hands on and feel what it has seen. If you close your eyes and listen I swear sometimes you can hear them speak... I loved reading this.
I love that you can sleep under a tree. Sigh...if I didn't have the allergies and hang-ups I do, I'd gladly love to do the same.
